For the last seven years, the month of February has come to hold a very special place in the hearts of female horror fans, thanks to the founding of The Women in Horror Month—or, as well call it around these parts, “lady horror Christmas.”

All across the country (and maybe the globe), ladies who are passionate horror creators and consumers have taken up the call to promote WIHM with fundraisers, blood drives, film festivals, and all manner of spookily themed events—and we at the Zombie Grrlz headquarters salute their passion and drive!

However, that sounds… well… in a word, exhausting. So, if, like us, you’re hyped about female horror solidarity but your idea of the perfect WIHM celebration is done from the comfort of your home (preferably in pajamas), then you’ll get no judgment here, just a list of films to get your viewing party started today.

Here are 10 woman-directed horror films to bump straight to the top of your queue.
